If we have fans of the silent comic age out here, who of the three most famous is your favorite? Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, or Harold Lloyd? It's funny because whenever the three are brought up, that's the order they're always put in.
Now Charlie Chaplin made quite a legacy for himself so he's more well remembered than the other two; but, and he is funny, I know it, I have all his shorts, I laugh myself sick every time at Shanghaied and I love Pay Day, but I prefer Buster Keaton. Harold Lloyd is very good too, there is no disputing that, especially if you see Dr. Jack, it's SO funny it can't even be described, but I'm not as familiar with his work as the other two, and while he had some outrageous ideas too like the big clock in Safety Last, Buster seemed to be more of making his own outrageous stunts that could've gotten him killed as being his trademark, which in itself is very entertaining on top of the comedy that follows.
